When Akai Professional released the MPC60 in 1988, it blazed the route for a new approach to be hands-on with your sound, and the indelible groove formed by finger drumming entrenched a particular, instantly recognizable style of beat building and sampling.
The APC line of instruments combined this approach with Ableton Live‘s hybrid studio/live-performance architecture to maximize the software suite’s creative potential, and the APC64 is the current musician’s answer to Ableton Live-driven performance. An 8-by-8, RGB-backlit, 64-pad matrix supports both velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch, while a ring of multi-mode buttons provides extensive, all-encompassing navigation and performance tools.
